They offered me the dual channel for the same price but said I'd have to pop up to Chelmsford for fitting because it needed to be specified & set up for the individual car... I said just to send me the standard system and if I feel the need for more power i'll take them up and drive over for a swap out. They were cool with that and confirmed that the deal is open all month for all VAG cars.
Have fun MH!

Not sure why they're happy to send mine out if yours would need a fitting for setting up? Maybe yours would've been the first GTD with the system and they'd be using yours as a bit of a guinea pig for getting optimum setting tweaks?

Good question. Would be good to find out how yours goes, plus how easy it is to install it as have heard the boost pressure sensor is a bit harder to get to.

I'm hoping that they will supply some pics to point out the direction to the boost sensor outlet on the turbo intercooler. I think the common-rail fuel sensor plug should be easier to find, under the plastic engine cover somewhere.

Will take some pics  when fitting (bet it pisses it down tomorrow  :angry:)

Common rail sensor plug is to the far left of the array. Real quick & easy to get to.

Wow mapping started really quickly!

What are people's thoughts on these alleged gains?? They seem a bit pie in the sky IMO...

My full REVO ECU map on the mk6 GTD was allegedly circa 210bhp, didn't feel like it at all and surprised if it would have been much more than 200, so a 30bhp increase from stock.
Cant see a near 60bhp increase from a tuning box, I would have thought between 220-230 tops would be more likely.

What's max torque for GTD clutch?

I'm interested in one of these but would like to see how people get on with em first. Also I'm not the best under a bonnet so the ten min plug and at claim could well be an exaggeration

Misterp: Once you know where the plugs are, unplugging/replugging is a cinch as long as access isn't a problem (not sure where the turbo "channel" is plugging in or how easy it is to get to). We took my dad's box off his MK5 for trade-in, in about 2 minutes. I'm hoping there's a clear diagram that comes with the box. They must know how far apart the 2 plug-in points are to determine the length of cabling to use.

I think I’d be more worried about the clutch on a DSG than a manual. Even so, isn’t the 6 speed DSG rated for 450Nm (on the conservative side probably).
